The teeth of teeth of involute gears hobs and teeth for involute spline shaft hobs have a trapezoidal profile. In the U.S. a huge volume of good quality hobs are produced, and offers potential for ...

Strip broken gear tooth, butter weld filler metal into cavity using TIG or stick, let cool slowly to avoid cracks, then mill ...

Invention of the gear-hobbing process about 150 years ago revolutionized not only gear fabrication, but also gear design. Basically, a hob or shaper cutter traverses the gear blank to generate teeth.

Simulation tools are now available to simulate complex gear measurements after heat-treatment simulation. This is the focus of the feature article that has just been published in Thermal Processing, ...

Some spare time recently got used-up designing a pair of involute gears – which, it transpires, is easy in principle, once certain almost-impossible-to-obtain facts have been gathered. There are ...

Gears are toothed wheels that transmit motion from one shaft to another and determine the speed, torque, and direction of rotation of machine elements. Gears can be grouped into two major categories: ...
